Life when your other half does/doesn't dive....

[divad]

everyone is together, in a beautiful, serene setting and NO ONE CAN TALK!

My kids dive
My wife does not dive.

She is OK with the arrangement

If I were single I would not have a serious relationship with a non-diver

I am single and not willing to date someone who is not a diver. My weekends and vacations are spent diving with a great group, albeit it married group, of people. A weekday, non vacation land loving partner is not my idea of fun

ditto for me

My wife is not a diver. She has no problem with my diving at all, I guess I'm lucky that she is so unselfish and understands that diving makes me happy.

My wife doesn't dive, and I think that works out better. I have my Saturday mornings diving, and she gets a bit of peace and quiet. I am hoping my kids will dive when they are older, but I am not going to pressure them into it.

Funnily enough, one of the girls who I dive with reasonably regularly insists that she won't date anyone who does not dive. But I never buy the "you must do everything together" approach to relationships. So long as you spend quality time together, it is OK (and healthy) to each have outside interests.

My wife is deffinately not a diver, she says "Something about being on a life support system, doesnt sound appealing to me." So for now It has inhibited my diving schedule. But this coming year, I plan on changing that around, and taking some more bubble blowing time for me
